	Notes:
	1. Price Base: Cash terms.
	2. Figures reflect relevant sub-blocks of the Education Formula Spending settlement and include the pensions transfer to EFS.
	3. Total funding also includes all revenue grants in DfES Departmental Expenditure Limits relevant to pupils aged 3–10 and 11–15, and exclude education maintenance allowances and grants not allocated at LEA level. For those LEAs in receipt of advance of grant under the transitional support arrangements for 2004–05, advance grant funding was included in the year of payment (2004–05). There will be a consequential reduction in DfES grant for these LEAs in future years (either 2006–07 and 2007–08 or 2006–07 to 2008–09, depending on the terms on which the advance was given to the LEA).
	4. The pupil numbers used to convert £m figures to per pupil are those underlying the EFS settlement calculations.
	5. Rounding: Per pupil figures are rounded to the nearest 10.
	6. Status: 2005–06 figures are provisional as some grants have not yet been finalised/audited.

Court Fines

Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs how much revenue has been paid to the Exchequer from court fines in England in each year since 1995.

Harriet Harman: The table shows the total amount of fine receipts collected between 1994–95 and 2004–05.
	Traditionally all receipts from court fines have been returned to the consolidated fund and re-allocated through the spending review process. However since 2002–03 DCA has piloted a scheme aimed at increasing recovery rates of fines, in order to increase the effectiveness of the punishment as a deterrent. As part of this scheme my Department (DCA) retain a proportion of the fine income to finance enforcement costs. The DCA departmental expenditure limit is adjusted to take account of this new arrangement.

NHS Dentistry

Andrew Lansley: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the total funding provided for NHS dentistry has been in each year since 1997 in (a) real and (b) nominal terms.

Rosie Winterton: The principal element of dental services are primary care services provided mainly through the general dental service (GDS) supplemented, since 1998, by personal dental service (PDS) pilots. The GDS is currently managed on a national basis as a non-discretionary service. Expenditure is not pre-determined by funding allocations but is driven largely by the volume of NHS care provided to patients by dentists. Gross expenditure on GDS and PDS services, including the funding contribution from patient charges, is shown in the table.
	Data for 1997–98 and 1998–99 is based on cash data, whereas data for all subsequent years is based on resource data. Accounts data for 2004–05 is not yet available.

Health Expenditure

David Davis: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was spent per capita from central Government funds on health in (a) the East Riding of Yorkshire and (b) England in each of the last five years.

Liam Byrne: The information is not collected centrally in the format requested.
	The following table shows expenditure per weighted head of population in England, and by the strategic health authority, which includes the East Riding of Yorkshire area, for 1999–2000 to 2003–04, which is the latest year for which audited figures are available.

National Society for Epilepsy

Cheryl Gillan: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what sums the Department has allocated to the National Society for Epilepsy in each of the last 10 years; and what the reasons for the payments were in each case.

Liam Byrne: The Secretary of State has powers under Section 64 of the Health and Public Services Act 1968 to make grants to voluntary organisations in England whose activities support the Department's policy priorities. Funding allocated to the National Society for Epilepsy through the Section 64 General Scheme of Grants over the last 10 years is shown in the table.

Specialists

David Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many accredited specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation there have been in each of the last 20 years; how many such specialists there were per 100,000 of the population in each of those years; and what evidence she has evaluated on proportions per 100,000 of population in (a) other EU countries and (b) other G7 countries.

Liam Byrne: The table shows information on the headcount of hospital and community health services (HCHS) medical staff in rehabilitation medicine per 100,000 population in each year since 1990, the first year for which figures are available. The latest population data available are for 2003.
	Between 1996 and 2004, the number of HCHS medical staff working in rehabilitation medicine has increased from 130 to 226 and the number of consultants has doubled to 118 in this period.
	International comparisons are not collected for rehabilitation medicine.
